We lived in Finland for a time. That droll sense of humor is seen everywhere. In Oulu (where we were) they have a garlic festival and Finland also has a wife carrying contest every year. Of course they’d have a word for reindeer wanderings. Walk on!
How nice to read that You have visited Oulu. We just spend some days in Oulu, which in winter very beautiful town. Oulu is also Finland’s bikeable town, even in winter. Best happening is in February:
THIS summer, I am resting when I collapse…ask me about it sometime….I would love to write a tell-all expose’ book or a self-help manual as a result of clueless humans and the kitten that unglued their clueless souls…or glued them even tighter when I stop for one second in the mania to review whatever happened! what a bunch of misguided zombies….good god!
There are no reindeer in Whitechapel as far as I’m aware. However, this does not mean that I would adopt a curt or dismissive attitude towards one if I encountered the creature in Commercial Road one evening. On the contrary in fact.
Very cool post. Thank You. Nice that You did find the word Poronkusema. Being Finn, I have understand that the length of Poronkusema is indefinite, not only 7.5 km. 🙂
When talking about reindeers, did You know that it is nice animal and in the town Oulu in February, there is:
that is so wonderful! thank you for sharing this about the race and more information behind the word. i would love to come to finland to meet the people and reindeer and to see the race firsthand!
Cute! It’s a good thing they fly rather than walk when pulling Santa’s sleigh! 🙂

Deer in this region tend not to travel (and run into vehicles) as much during rainy times. Apparently this means they are not raindeer.
